Critic of war assails Cheney: Kucinich Calls for Hearings on False Statements
Just as Cheney is lashing out at Democrats calling questions about the war “revisionism of the most corrupt and shameless variety”
“Any suggestion that prewar information was distorted, hyped, fabricated by the leader of the nation is utterly false,” Cheney said, decrying the “self-defeating pessimism” of many Democrats. He added that to begin withdrawing from Iraq now, as some lawmakers have suggested, “would be a victory for the terrorists.”
Kucinich has answered back with a call for accountablity
I am requesting that the Government Reform Committee hold a hearing on the war in Iraq and specifically the role that Vice President Richard Cheney, and his staff, played in leading this nation to war.
We now know that the Vice President, and his aides, were at the forefront of the Administration planning and execution of the war in Iraq. We also now know that many of the statements made by Vice President Cheney have turned out to be false and misleading.
The Vice President has had great influence in leading the United States into war in Iraq, and has used his influence to make false statements, mislead the public and attack those who oppose the war and have demanded accountability…
The Vice President should be immediately invited to appear before our committee and given the opportunity to provide our committee with the facts to support his claims. If he refuses, our committee should use its subpoena power to require his appearance.
Tom Davis would like to hear your opinion on the subject…
Chairman of the House Government Reform Committee:
